Object Tracking with Oculus SDK
Hi,
I asked myself if it would be possible to track more objects than the headset and the oculus controllers with the SDK.
I found, that both have integrated infrared LEDs with a certain blinking pattern, that is then tracked by the cameras.
Now my question is: Is it possible to add some LEDs with other blinking patterns to different devices like e.g. a tablet and kind of teach the cameras those patterns to enable object tracking and displaying it in a Unity scene?
And further, is there some possibility to do this via the Oculus SDK or is it more like a black box and has to be done via a video stream and computing or the like?
Maybe somebody has an idea and could help me!
Anyway, thank you in advance! :smile:

- Over two years ago Oculus announced that they'd be opening Constellation tracking to third parties but I suppose a lot has changed since then.
